In the event a combined municipal organization is approved by a majority of the electors in each election unit and a proposed charter therefor has likewise been approved by a majority of the electors in each election unit, the city government and the county government and all offices thereof, except as provided herein, shall terminate, and the new combined municipal organization government shall begin operation in lieu thereof on the first day of July following the adoption of a charter for the combined municipal organization by the governing authority of the combined municipal organization. If approval of the proposed charter is given by a vote of the majority of the electors voting thereon, the governing authority of the combined municipal organization may adopt the same by a majority vote. In the event the electors of either election unit shall disapprove the proposed charter submitted to them for approval for two consecutive elections upon such proposition, subsequent to the first election, then the consolidation, although previously approved, shall not become effective but shall be void, and the proposition for consolidation shall not be again submitted to a vote of the electors in the combined municipal organization for a period of two years after the last election on the question of approval of the charter.
